Leaving the cares of grown-ups be¬ hind and entering into "Toyland," thirty kiddies from the Bronx, Brook¬ lyn, Far Rockaway, Freeport and tliia village wended their way Saturday evening to "play" together and to be the guests of Mary Jane and Buster Brown, imper.sonated by Mias Ivy M. Whitney and Walter S. Moon. The scene of the "play-grown" was at thei home of Miss Whitney, 188 Maple avenue. At an early hour the "little 'ines," costumed to represent children Irom Infancy to early childhood, ar¬ rived. Immediately their prattling fliled the atmoepherc with childish mirth. Scattered over the floor in tbe roonis were toys of various descrip¬ tion, which aided considerably in giv¬ ing delight and pleasure to the little tots.
"Every age has Its pleasures, its style of wit, and its own ways."— "Nicholas Boileau Despreaux, Art of Poetry." After tbe fondness for the toys became a thing of the past, a new style of original, progressive, baby games Were enjoyed, furnished gladness and made tiny hearts happy and hands clap. Awards of an appro¬ priate nature was presented the winners. Music, singing and danc¬ ing also lent charni to the occasion. Miss Hazel Witch of Far Rockaway pleased with soprano solos.
The large reception hall and par¬ lors were artistically decorated In French pink and blue colors, har¬ monizing with the host and hosteeses' costumes and the Ilttle invitations which were Issued. The dining room was viewed with wide open eyes and mouths by tbe hungry and tired play¬ mates. In the dining room the same colbr scheme was carried out. a large bouquet of salmon pink carnations gracing the center of the table and from tbe chandelier on various lengths of ribbon wore bung kewpies. Each guest was presented with a favor-^^giriles, school bags, boys, pop guns. All too soon the darkness of night enveloped the guests and the sandman came to usher them home. And the niKht shall be nUed with music.

So they stole away and entered "Dreamland," with the thought that nothing was left but a majeetlc mem¬ ory of tbe night spent In toyland.

NEW GEMS' STORE
C. D. SMITH'S STORE HAS UNDER¬ GONE WONDERFUL CHANGE.
(By Staff Correspondent.)
Strolling down Main street last week I happened to stop in tbe store of Charles D. Smith, 68 South Main atreet, which has recently undergone a thorough renovation. The Improve¬ ment has made a wonderful transfor¬ mation; the entire new stock in every detail was certainly a treat.
I wafl very much impressed with the full line of made-to-order cloth¬ ing that sells at the same price as ready-made clothes. Imagine what tbese woras impart; it means full tailored garments, made to your measure, and fit you perfectly—not made in sweat shops which employ sweat shop labor, and consequently turn out tbe same kind of a garment.
Here one finds exclusive line of shirts, ties, hats ,cap8, socks, gloves, underwear, pajamas, full lines of evening shirts, ties, collars. Jewelry, the latest invention in umbrellas, the famous American Boston- iah shoes, full line of the Onyx hos¬ iery for ladles, the most up-to-date line of ladles higb-cut shoes In all shapes and styles, as well as colors.
I was thinking at the time bow foolish moet people are to trade at the large department stores of the city where the expense to run their busi¬ ness is on a gigantic scale and neces¬ sarily you pay more and buy more tban you originally expected.
You ean buy In your own town tbe iame and better merchandise at a lower flgure, at the same time im¬ proving our own community and benefltting yourself. Let all there¬ fore make the resr^ition that we will boost our home industry and buy in Preeport.
r The mucli heralded ellent vote jilayed no small pari In the election ¦of village ollicers in Freeport Tuea- jday. Tlie People's ticket, headed by Ernest S. Uandall, waa swept into ollice by an overwiieluiing vole. A Kiealer expression of cotilidcuce in men vvho liave labored unceasingly lor the welfare of the viiiage could hardly have been tendered. The re¬ sult, so far as figures go. Its tabulated in unolher column of this issue.
The total cast, i,,iio, we under¬ stand, is a record one. No one can Kuiii say thai the taxpayers did not lake an active, personal interest in llie udmiiilslration of tht^ir viiiage af¬ lairs.
The campaigns carried on during the past three weeks were active and tntliusiastic, but clean and gentle¬ manly. A spirit of fairness predom¬ inated.
It is Indeed aigflnicant that every proposition proposed to the taxpay¬ ers was carried by a decided vote. It is not oniy a mark of respeci to the past adminietraUon of retiring Presi¬ dent Roland M. Lamb, but an expres¬ sion of confldence in the one which Is about to start.
The two propositions pertaining to' the fire departmenl, just and necessary ones, were given a signifi¬ cant vote. If there is one thing Free- porters believe in more than any¬ ihing else, it is their flremen. What¬ ever will increa.se the eificiency they ask for and gel.
Mr. Johnson and his associates, Mr. Fred. S. Howell and Frank M. Smith, raade a hard flght and no one can gainsay that they were not g<ood losers.
The people of Freeport have placed their trust in .Mr. Uandall. He has their Ik .«t wishes and hearty support.
